Another interesting weekend ....
Great weekend of area high school football, with last second touchdowns, come-from-behind rallies, surprise performances, overcoming adversity, rivals clashing and clutch efforts.
A quick look:
La Serna 33, Whittier 29: Never-say-die Lancers save the best for last, scoring all 33 points in the fourth quarter, including winning it on a last-play-of-the-game pass.
La Mirada 42, Norwalk 33: One might say the Matadores spotted the Southern Division No. 1-ranked Lancers a 19-point lead (26-7) late in the first half, then the defense woke up and helped the team to the top of the Suburban League.
Santa Fe 21, El Rancho 3: The Chiefs lose their QB (Alex Flores) for the season two two weeks ago, so everyone figures the offense will be run-run-run, but backup QB Justin Rincon steps in to throw for 231 yards and three touchdowns.
La Habra 47, Troy 14: Standout RB Joshua Quezada stays home with the flu and coach Frank Mazzotta merely opens the cupboard and pulls out another quality back, this one Ahmad Avery, who responds with 177 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries.
Schurr 34, Montebello 12: They say you can "throw out the records" when two of the area's biggest rivals meet, but the favorite in this one won, and in such a manner as to send a message to this week's opponent, San Gabriel, that the Spartans are ready to defend their Almont League title.
California 37, Pioneer 0: RB Terris Jones, PK Tyler Hadden and the Condors' offense get their usual share of kudos for another impressive performance, but the defense steps into the spotlight for this one for never allowing the pass-happy and dangerous Titans to get their attack going. Four interceptions and an unofficial 14 hurries.
Cantwell 43, Don Bosco Tech 21: Everyone had a hand in this one, the offense producing five touchdown passes and the defense forcing five turnovers, as the Cardinals stay alive in the Camino Real League.
Whittier Christian 49, Firebaugh 0: After a pair of sub-par (for him) games, Garrett Fulbright returned to form and scored five touchdowns to lead Heralds in a game that was played with a running clock for the second half.
St. Francis 34, St. Paul 7: On a night when the defense had problems, the Swordsmen's offense failed to pick up the slack, and they find themselves needing to win their last two games to have a shot at the postseason playoffs.

to "Santa fu say"
You belong in Metro after that big prediction and very, very tiny performance.
I agree Anonymous == "Cal: just shut up and play. It appears you are hot at the right time.
Cal you're stating to sound like the Sp swordsmen. You have a good team. Shut up and play.
I will state it again, we "sf" will kill cal the buffalo bills of high school football.period. Please don’t be afraid, Hell will freeze over before we lose to cal. One question, by how much will we win? I’m surprised that we lost a game this year. we changed our victory party to metro state on norwalk blvd it is much bigger and we feel at home there. i wonder if i can get a full ride to play football at metro state . that would be crazy
We'll kill CAL, no need to worry its in the bag! A big party at santa fe. We don't just win games we win league.
I will state it again, we “Cal” will kill SF the buffalo bills of high school football. Jackson is big but slow period. Oliver cannot be compare to top dog Jones. Please don’t be afraid, Hell will freeze over before we lose to SF. One question, by how much will we win? I’m surprised that we lost a game this year.
Well Montebello faitful,
I`ve haven`t seen any of you come on here and show your conserns or support for the Little man and his staff of "we our the best coaches around". What is going on over at Montebello ?. I believe they will never be a factor in high school football, no matter who coaches them. Schurr will always get the real football player from Montebello and the surrounding cities. Pete, so how has it been having your little side kick son calling your plays this season. Well we all know the answer to that ? huh. What about your new D-Coordinator, maybe just a little to young to be calling defenses. So Pete, our you going to jump ship and apply to as many schools that will give you an interview, i.e LOYOLA,USC. Ha, ha go SPARTANS 4 LIFE, ALL THE WAY TO ANOTHER LEAGUE AND CIF CHAMPIONSHIP.
nice try santa fe . trying to pump up your team ? arnolds kids are smarter than that. maybe some dumb parent mouthing off, but that doesnt count. let the kids play !
We'll kill SF, no need to worry its in the bag! A big party at Cal. We don't just win games we win league.
Anyone can beat St. Paul this year. Even Cantwell. LMFAO. I've seen Cantwell at its worse. Believe me St. Paul wouldn't keep up with the worse of the worst. The way St.Paul is playing even the Pico Dons will beat them. LOL
Wow, a good win? Man dont you guys play iscream football lol. But you wont plat us again.
Well Condors, It's time to prepare for your mighty adversary (Santa Fe). Remember, you have not won anything yet! The League Champion is still Santa Fe and they are holding what you want. Don't think for a second that they will lay down and give it to you. Santa Fe will fight hard to retain the Championship and you are going to have to earn it on the field. Prepare yourself for an all out dog fight! This is what it's all about! The two Titans of the Del Rio League fighting it out on the grid iron. I wish it was Friday night right now! Go Condors!
Good win Cantwell. Your offense finally showed up. You can't rely on your defense all the time. C'mon Cards offense step up the rest of the way.
